To the compiler implementer, The Plum Hall Validation Suite for C provides a collection of carefully chosen test cases -- currently over 56,000 lines of C source, with new sections added regularly under Maintenance. It can supplement internally-developed test suites with a fresh perspective outside the internal "cultural tradition" and has been written with a concern for the modern testing criterion of "positive marginal utility". In other words, each test case has a specific rationale for its inclusion. The Plum Hall Validation Suite for C is not "bulked up" with redundant examples.
